Karnataka in darkness due to govts inaction, claims BJP
Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Sep 12 (IANS) Senior BJP leader and Leader of the Opposition in the Karnataka Assembly, R. Ashoka, on Saturday criticised the state government over the power shortage in the state, accusing Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar and Energy Minister K.J. George of failing to anticipate the rise in electricity demand and make adequate arrangements. In a statement, Ashoka described the state government as short-sighted, unplanned and incompetent and alleged that people across Karnataka were suffering due to frequent power cuts. Ashoka said the states electricity demand had increased to around 20,000 MW and questioned the governments preparedness despite indications of a decline in the southwest monsoon. Did the government not have even the basic common sense to take precautionary measures when the monsoon began to weaken? he asked, holding Shivakumar and George responsible for the situation. He alleged that the government was citing technical reasons related to the increase in power demand to evade responsibility. Because of your incompetence, inaction and irresponsibility, the entire state is now suffering from power shortages and erratic electricity supply, Ashoka claimed. He alleged that power cuts were being imposed continuously across the state, particularly in the mornings and after 6.30 pm. Questioning the governments decision to purchase only 200 MW of electricity, Ashoka said it was inadequate when the states demand was around 20,000 MW. He alleged that the government had been highlighting the purchase of 100 MW each from Assam and Jindal as evidence that it was taking steps to manage the crisis. When the demand is 20,000 MW, what kind of administration purchases only 200 MW and claims that the situation is being handled? Ashoka asked. He also questioned the Energy Departments preparedness, alleging that it had failed to enter into advance power purchase agreements despite the early indications of a possible shortage following a weak monsoon. What was the Energy Department doing when there were clear indications that the weakening monsoon could lead to a power shortage? he asked. Taking a dig at the Congress governments election guarantee of free electricity, Ashoka said, Those who distributed guarantee cards promising free electricity are now giving the people of Karnataka a guarantee of free darkness. Ashoka said farmers were struggling to access water due to power shortages, while traders, businesses and industries were facing difficulties in carrying out their operations. He also claimed that students were suffering because they were unable to study without adequate electricity supply. Warning the government of growing public anger, Ashoka said that if immediate action was not taken, the peoples resentment would intensify and pose a serious challenge to the Congress.

JK Congress chief criticises CM Omar Abdullah over Vande Mataram remarks
Jammu and Kashmir Congress chief Tariq Hameed Karra on Friday criticised Chief Minister Omar Abdullah for saying that failure to comply with the Centres direction on singing the full version of Vande Mataram could land Kashmiris in jail, calling his remarks highly unfortunate and detached from reality. Earlier, while reacting to the controversy over the full version of the national song being played at a film festival, Abdullah asserted that it was a statutory requirement, and questioned whether the Congress wanted Kashmiris to be jailed. In response, Karra pointed out that Keralam had decided to sing only the first two stanzas and that no one was put behind bars. Omar Abdullah sahib's comment is detached from reality and, therefore, highly unfortunate, he said. Differences among the alliance partners cropped up after Congress slammed the ruling National Conference over the full rendition of the national song played at the inauguration of the International Film Festival of Jammu & Kashmir (IFFJK) here. Abdullah defended the move, saying that the issue was needlessly politicised. The chief minister had said that legally, wherever the national anthem is played, all six stanzas of Vande Mataram have been made mandatory. This is not just for Jammu and Kashmir; it applies across the entire country. In states governed by Congress, the same will happen at government functions. This is now a statutory obligation, he said. Does Congress want Kashmiris to be thrown in jail on this issue? he added. The CM said his party had not adopted the full song and has no objection if the Congress revokes it in the future once it comes to power. When Congress comes to power, and I pray they come to power as soon as possible, they can revoke this in Parliament. Let them do it, we have no objection. In fact, as a party, we have never adopted Vande Mataram, and we won't adopt it in the future either. But whatever our legal and statutory obligations are, we have to fulfill them, he said. Pushing back at the CM's assertion, Karra questioned why Abdullah had framed the controversy around the general population. How did the people of Jammu & Kashmir come into the picture when our expectations were clearly and exclusively from the Government of Jammu & Kashmir? Karra asked, asserting that the public had no role in the debate and that the onus remained squarely on the government to stand upright. Karra drew parallels with other non-BJP-ruled states to challenge the chief minister's stance on statutory compliance. But since Omar Sahib has raised the issue, it begs two questions: One, did a single person in Kerala go to jail when its government chose to sing only the first two stanzas of Vande Mataram at the Independence Day parade? And second, are we wrong to expect our Hon'ble CM to be equally capable of standing up for secular and inclusive values as the CMs of Kerala, Tamil Nadu, and now even Karnataka and Telangana have done by limiting Vande Mataram to first two stanzas at state events? he asked. Karra said the IFFJK was a state event organised jointly by the Directorate of Information and Public Relations (DIPR), J&K, and the National Film Development Corporation (NFDC), and it was inaugurated by Chief Minister Abdullah himself. So, who else was or wasn't present is irrelevant, it is a superfluous detail meant only to distract from the core issue, he added.

Congress questions NC govts stand on Vande Mataram
Srinagar, Sept 11: Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Congress Committee president Tariq Hameed Karra on Friday hit back at Chief Minister Omar Abdullah over his remarks on the Vande Mataram controversy, saying the CMs response was detached from reality and that the issue was about the conduct of the government, not the people. Reacting to Omar Abdullahs comments, Karra wrote on X, that expectations had been directed clearly and exclusively towards the Government of Jammu and Kashmir and questioned why the people of J&K had been brought into the debate. The public has nothing to do with this debate. It is the government that is expected to stand upright, Karra said, arguing that the controversy should not be shifted from the government to the people. He said the CMs remarks raised two questions, including whether any person in Kerala had been jailed when the state government chose to sing only the first two stanzas of Vande Mataram at an Independence Day parade. Karra also questioned whether people were wrong in expecting the J&K Chief Minister to uphold what he described as secular and inclusive values, citing the examples of Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Telangana, where he said state events had limited the rendition to the first two stanzas. Are we wrong to expect our Honble CM to be equally capable of standing up for secular and inclusive values? Karra asked. Taking his argument further, the PCC chief brought the recently concluded International Film Festival of Jammu and Kashmir into the controversy, rejecting what he termed an attempt to dilute the responsibility of the government by referring to who was or was not present at the event. Karra said IFFJK 2026, titled Rang-e-Cinema, was a state event jointly organised by the Directorate of Information and Public Relations (DIPR), J&K, and the National Film Development Corporation (NFDC), and was inaugurated by Omar Abdullah himself. Who else was or wasnt present is irrelevanta superfluous detail meant only to distract from the core issue, he said. The PCC chief maintained that the central question was not about the attendance of individuals but about the position taken by the government at an official event. His remarks come amid a political debate over the rendition of Vande Mataram at the IFFJK inaugural event, with opposition parties questioning the governments handling of the matter and seeking clarity on the decision. Karra said the government could not evade scrutiny by invoking the presence or absence of members of the public, insisting that accountability for a state-organised event rested with the administration.

Vande Mataram row: Congress stand has always been clear, says Karnataka CM Shivakumar
Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Sep 11 (IANS) In the wake of the controversy over the Karnataka government restricting the playing of 'Vande Mataram' to two stanzas at state events, Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar on Friday said the Congress has always respected the national song, the national flag, the national anthem, independence, democracy, and the Constitution, asserting that the party's position on the national song has been clear for a long time. Talking to reporters at Aranya Bhavan, Shivakumar said the Congress had played a role in upholding the values associated with the countrys freedom struggle and democratic institutions. Vande Mataram is my partys stand, which we have been following for a long time. They are trying to do their politics. We respect it. We brought Vande Mataram. We brought the national flag. We brought the national anthem. We brought independence. We brought democracy. We brought the Constitution, he said. He said the Congress position on Vande Mataram was not new and that the party respected all national symbols and constitutional values. On the Kasturirangan report, Shivakumar said the government would consult farmers before taking a final decision on the issue. He said he would visit three or four districts after his Mangaluru visit and meet farmers to hear their views. I will meet the farmers, and then on September 21, 22, and 23, we have a special session only for farmers issues, road issues and the report. We will discuss it because we have lost the opportunity. I want all MLAs to speak up and give their views in the interest of the public and the farmers of the state, he said. The Karnataka government has convened a three-day special session of the legislature from September 21 to 23 to discuss the Kasturirangan report and related issues. On his visit to PWD Minister Satish Jarkiholi amid the Enforcement Directorate searches linked to him, Shivakumar defended his colleague, saying Jarkiholi had not committed any wrongdoing. Jarkiholi is my colleague. He has not done anything wrong. They are conducting their business within the framework of the law. How can they say they should not go outside or should not do business outside? I know that they were doing, he said. Shivakumar alleged that the investigation agencies were selectively targeting Congress leaders. I know that they are planning to target three or four people as well. They are trying to trap the entire Congress and the opposition parties. Whoever from the BJP went outside or transferred money is not being targeted. They are doing it only with people from our party, he alleged. Defending the decision to set a deadline for the surrender of illegal firearms, Shivakumar referred to former Chief Minister, late Ramakrishna Hegde, who had during his tenure called upon people to surrender illegal firearms and weapons to the government. Following this, thousands of people came forward and surrendered them to the government, he said.

Maharashtra: Congress alleges Central Scheme to place OBCs in General category
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Sep 11 (IANS) Senior Congress leader and former Maharashtra Pradesh Congress Committee (MPCC) President Nana Patole on Friday launched a sharp attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modis administration, accusing the Union Government of deceiving the Other Backward Classes (OBC) community under the guise of conducting a caste census. Speaking to the media after leading a delegation to meet Maharashtra Governor Jishnu Dev Varma, Patole alleged that the Modi government is actively attempting to shift the OBC population into the open (general) category through the census process. Highlighting specific flaws in the census format, Patole stated that out of the 40 questions included in the enumeration form, Question No. 10 reveals an underlying design to categorise OBCs under the open category. The OBC community comprises numerous castes and sub-castessuch as Kunbi and Banjarawith varied regional nomenclatures across states (Lamta in Andhra Pradesh, Kurmi or Jat in other regions). Classification based on linguistic and regional identities requires urgent updating so that these names are accurately reflected in a caste-wise enumeration, Patole argued. He urged the Centre to adopt the comprehensive caste census models previously implemented by state governments in Bihar and Telangana to ensure fair representation. Patole further noted that despite formal written representations sent to Prime Minister Modi by Leader of the Opposition in the Rajya Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge and Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi, the Union Government has failed to respond, reflecting what he termed an anti-OBC mindset. In the memorandum submitted to Governor Varma, the delegation emphasised that authentic, updated demographic data is critical for formulating social justice policies, welfare schemes, educational opportunities, and employment strategies. The delegation demanded that a provision for a separate, dedicated column/category for OBCs be made in the national census enumeration form. Independent and precise data collection for every sub-caste within the OBC umbrella will address existing socio-economic and educational disparities among different subgroups. The delegation emphasised the need for a comprehensive mapping of educational progress, economic status, employment participation, and utilisation of government schemes to enable scientific, objective policymaking. Patole demanded the direct intervention by the Maharashtra State Government to strongly advocate for an independent caste census with the relevant central ministries. Addressing the severe agricultural distress in the state, Patole urged the government to declare a drought in affected regions, including parts of Vidarbha, Western Maharashtra, and Marathwada, where dry spells have damaged standing crops. Comparing the state's response to neighbouring regions, the Congress leader demanded that the state government immediately declare a drought, provide substantial financial assistance to farmers and agricultural labourers, and make urgent arrangements for fodder and water for livestock, echoing relief measures implemented by the Karnataka government.

The Enforcement Directorate has raided properties linked to Karnataka PWD Minister Satish Jarkiholi over alleged financial misconduct. ED Conducts Raids on Karnataka PWD Minister and Associates Amid Allegations of Financial Irregularities
Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Sep 11 (IANS) Karnataka Public Works Department (PWD) Minister Satish Jarkiholi holds nearly a 40 per cent stake in a gold mining company in Congo, while the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Friday alleged that bribe money linked to PWD contracts was used to acquire foreign assets and seized Rs 3.3 crore in unaccounted cash during searches at premises linked to him and his aides. The official statement released in this regard said, The Enforcement Directorate's (ED) Bengaluru Zonal Office has conducted searches at 21 premises linked to Karnataka Public Works Department Minister Satish Jarkiholi and his close aides in connection with an investigation into alleged undisclosed overseas investments, cross-border business links and financial irregularities. The ED also claimed that Satish Jarkiholi had acquired nearly 40 per cent stakes in Congo-based Magnitude Star SARL, a company engaged in gold mining. Documents relating to several other foreign entities owning mining assets in Africa were also found and seized during the searches, according to the central probe agency. The searches were carried out on September 9 and 10 at four locations covering Bengaluru, Belagavi, Gokak and Kolkata under the provisions of the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA), the ED said. According to the central agency, the premises searched included those linked to Chikkodi MP and Jarkiholi's daughter Priyanka Jarkiholi, his son Rahul Jarkiholi and his brother-in-law Y.D. Manjunath. Properties belonging to several close aides of the Minister, including his Officer on Special Duty and Personal Assistant Malagouda Patil, Raju Daragshetti, Vittal Parasannavar and Girish Sonwalkar, were also searched. The ED also searched the offices and residences of officials and owners of private company Bharat Vanijya Eastern Private Ltd (BVEPL). The agency alleged that the company had paid a huge bribe to secure a tender from the PWD department and that the money was allegedly used for acquiring foreign assets. The searches also focused on the overseas business interests of the Jarkiholi family. The ED said it found that family members, including Priyanka Jarkiholi, Rahul Jarkiholi and Mahadevi Manjunath, who is the wife of Y.D. Manjunath, had acquired shareholdings in multiple foreign entities. These entities include Eldorado Mining Resources in Congo and Nava Aurum Mining Ltd in Zambia, among others, the central agency said. The searches covered the Minister's residences in Gokak and Dollars Colony in Bengaluru, as well as his office-cum-residence on Crescent Road in the city. Properties in Gokak and Belagavi were also searched. During the operation, the ED said it seized unaccounted Indian currency amounting to Rs 3.3 crore. Foreign currencies, including US dollars and euros, valued at around Rs 15 lakh were also found and seized, the ED added. The central agency said that evidence gathered during the searches indicated that substantial investments and expenses had allegedly been made in cash in an entity in Congo through unauthorised channels, raising suspected violations under FEMA. The searches also allegedly unearthed evidence relating to irregularities in the PWD department. The ED said it recovered several incriminating documents and digital devices containing information relating to the alleged collection of bribe money from contractors, including BVEPL. According to the central agency, such evidence was found in the entities and accounts of various influential persons, including accounts of an entity allegedly controlled and managed by Y.D. Manjunath, who is the brother-in-law of Satish Jarkiholi. The ED said the search action was aimed at investigating the alleged flow of funds between domestic entities and overseas assets and examining possible violations of foreign exchange regulations. Further investigation into the alleged overseas investments, PWD-related financial irregularities, suspected bribe payments and foreign exchange violations is under progress, the central agency added.
